I disagree. It's akin to trying to replace James May with Matt Leblanc. 20 minutes on and I have lost interest entirely.

To all fellow Time Team fans. We should not compare the old Time Team with the new. The old Time Team was backed by a major TV channel. Anyone who saw the first series of Time Team should remember all the characters that we all know and loved took time to develop and we need to give the new guys time to do that too.

I appreciate the characters of both, the experience & knowledge the original TT crew brings, along with the new tech & knowledge the new crew brings. Together they have a fresh & cohesive energy, offering something to each other & the project. Also, I don't see them as 'Old Time Team' as they aren't old, in my opinion they're the Original TT crew. I'm enjoying discovering the personalities of new members... and I, like you, hope people give them time to adjust to the stress of '3 days', working in front of the cameras.

For me, one of the highlights of the last years has been the return of Time Team . Watching it, I am simply overwhelmed at the high production quality, especially considering they are completely independent and not backed by any big network. It's astounding! The passion and love for what they do is evident in both the old and new members, and it's a joy to watch. Big thanks to everybody around the world contributing on Patreon to make this possible! ❤ You're the true MVPs. Love Gus and his soothing voice.

Every episode with Stewart is a good episode!

If it's one thing I learned from TT, it's never underestimate Corenza's logic, Mick's ability to lead and inspire, Tony's sense of wonder, Phil's skills that pay the bills, John's technical knowhow, Raksha's eye for detail and Victor's artistic touch. Above all though, never, ever, ever underestimate my bois Robin, Stewart and Pryor, for who I can never repay for the contributions they made in my life.

I've been advocating for museums like this for awhile now. We should be making 3D imaged, 3D printed, and other copies of what is currently in museums so the public can spin, zoom in, handle, and otherwise interact with antiquities. It would also allow museums with "collected" items from other cultures to *give them back*. (Parthenon bits, Native American pieces, and Benin bronzes come to mind...)

@alexlail7481

6 ай бұрын

Virtual museums and intricate high quality copies definitely have a place in the world now and going forward. But they also pose dangers that have played out before..... as technology progresses new things can be learned from the originals that could never have been known of in the past and somewhere far far down the line the copies are misunderstood to be the originals and that is used as evidence for the historical facts being hoaxed..... both of which have already occurred in times past... as much as I like the concept and idea there's sadly no replacement for the genuine article.

I always liked how Stewart could see the landscape for what was there before. In college with one of my dual major as Forestry, a key professor taught Silviculture. On field trips he would tell us to look at what was possibly there before. Forests grew over old farm lands. Natural drainage determined the types of trees and plants , etc. These are the types of things Stewart’s shrewd eye sees in a landscape.

I absolutely love Time Team. I have watched every episode from day 1 at least twice.

Another to add to the great classic Time Teams. It definitely looks like the team has hit their stride and are producing great things. You just can't beat Stewart with his " Big thoughts." As Mic always called them.

Oh my gosh, that pub scene was spectacular! That completely drew me into the next day's possibilities and gave me a sweet remembrance of the original show doing the same. Thank you for that!

I've watched Time Team from day one. It was a must see in our house, every Sunday! The team were old friends, I was gutted when it ended. Then I see they're trying to resurrect it again, but with Mick and Victor gone, that's a big ask! HOWEVER, whilst I'm not as comfortable YET with Time Team Next Gen, I think it will do ok. I'm really not sure about the cheesy "virtual museum" idea, though the rest is really good! Great to see Carenza back along with John and the incomparable Stuart!

Kerry Ely, I thought so too. His name isn't listed in the credits, but somehow that seems like his style, and has been for 20-plus years

Wish Time Team would do a Dig at Newland Hall in Wakefield before its too late. It was both a Templar and later a Hospitaller Preceptory and is in danger of being built on.

I am happy time team is still going on , but the rumour is Tony is coming back. It would be great if Tony teamed up with Gus, he’s doing great but needs to be skeptical and question these archaeologists. Be on the spot and involved. Seeing Phil on the site as a advisor would warm my heart, his knowledge is a gift and his personality is endearing. Raksha and a lot of the others would be nice to see!🙂 Yeah, I’m just being nostalgic, you are doing a great job! 🙂

tony said in an interview on the time team official youtube channel hes more partial to documentaries than three day digs. if you look up his imdb hes done a good number of archaeology docus aside from time team. Im very partial to his docu "the true da vinci code" in which he compares fact to dan browns fiction. he also did a short series of walking britains classic roads, among others. his presenting career is much wider than onlytime team. And Phil was busy doing the battle of waterloo dig, and as i understand it is now mostly retired as his knees and back are wrecked after fifty digging seasons. Hes got a public email at wessex archaeology if you want to inquire as to his current works.

How very lovely to see so many of the "old" crew. They are still active and productive Time Team members. Well done. Cheers

Thanks Time Team for the opportunity to revisit this site and get a clearer idea of its significance.

Congratulations to all of you for reasserting control over Time Team. It's great to see folks from the original cast again and your new broad approach and new methodologies and staff are perfect. I mourned the passing of the original series shortly after Mick's exit and didn't think his replacement by a non-archeological presenter made watching a constant reminder of our loss. I stopped watching. Welcome back♡

this feels right on par with the old time team. Really good stuff. Hope I can financially support some time soon.

I missed the watch-along, but this is great!! I appreciate all the extra links you've posted in the notes as well (...more) Even though I'm a Patron, I still feel that each episode is a gift. Thank you Time Team 🥰

What a very pleasant reboot. It was great to see so many familiar faces. And while I admittedly miss bloodhound Phil Harding, a show devoid of Tony Robinson's manufactured tension, drama and snark should be very successful indeed. Good luck crew.

I have lived watching Time Team sunce i furst found it in here. I muss some if the past faces, but i am just glad it is still going. Love watching.

I am enjoying the new episodes very much! Thank you! The new technology is superb. My only issue with the new episodes is the tone of everyone's voice - so calm, so sleepy, monotone. [ yawn ]

I Love Time Team ❤

This is so enjoyable to watch. New people with faces I remember from past episodes. Stewart's wisdom with John's equipment and Matt's knowledge, priceless. Excellent !

As a hand spinner I absolutely loved this one. The spindle whorl was stunning.

Excellent as always. Well done

Thank you, Time Team…we lovethe OG team…we know Tony will come back..at least for cameos…

Can I just say you have all done wonderfully perfect job.

"You want SENSE?!?" -> Best quote of the show by far.

This is the first time I have watched a 'new' time team. I really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing more.

It is great to see the incorporation of many technology updates (3D printing and photogrammetry, laser scanning), together with the amazing advances in the geophys - compared to the OG TT, where John Gater was wandering around fields with a hand magnetometer!

Absolutely fascinating. Thank you Time Team!

I think these are amazing. Gus is a great presenter

I love these digs that follow up the members' hunches! Plus it's great that it's Stewart's baby this time. He's been one of my favorites for his ability to go off exploring on days one and two and then change the game midafternoon day 2 (is there such a thing as Time Team tropes?)

What a fantastic young archeologist program they have going!!!

Thank you for this! It is wonderful to welcome this marvelous program back and wonderful to see some of our old friends and welcome the new!

Matt has always been a star. Taking one for the team with costumes,role play ...all the while being a great archaeologist 😊

Really enjoyed watching it again. Great dig suggestion from Stuart!

Just think of the new members of Time Team like Time Lords. Dr. Who changed/S many times. 🤓

love this, so much detail to discover right there under foot, this is what I love about archeology and related disciplines- digging for the truth, in as much as possible before decideing the puzzle is complete.

Love time team, been watching for years

Welp now Gus adapted to the role, well done! :) So great to see the show back.

While no one could ever replace the OG Time Team crew, with their amazing personalities and fun banter, I think the new team is pretty good. The spirit of TT is still going and that's really the best thing about this show. No matter who is involved, we get inside looks at amazing archaeology and history that we couldn't see before. Plus it's kind of fun to see how far along the geophys tech has come from when they first started the show. The imaging is so much better now than it used to be. Also I like the idea of Gus' virtual museum. I can't drive, so getting around is difficult. A virtual museum I can visit would be such fun to see. Gus maybe doesn't have the energy or the sweet silliness of Sir Tony, but he definitely is a delight to watch and his voice is soothing. So I am going to enjoy both the old and the new TT, appreciate the best of both, and be thankful I have more episodes to watch

I have to admit I came across this and did wonder what was going on. Its great to see it still going. Everyone from the old series, is so much older. Matt especially has lost that kid look.

I like love ❤️ these Hospitallers.. I’m convinced. I’m supporting this.

I VERY much enjoyed the timeline you have included and refer to other events of the time. Please, include that more often. PS. Glad John got rid of his "flip-key" as a pointer. LOL

Loved the feature length episode. It makes the whole story much more comprehensible compared to the three seperate episode of the original time team format. Having said that I am still wondering why nobody wondered about the chapel being on a rectangular platform and why that is the case. All the time the team are looking for the preceptory. The current chapel was dated after 1470. So I think an earlier chapel or even the outline of the great hall of the preceptory can be found within the boundaries of this raised platform.

I’ve never liked change , I watched every episode of the original a few times over , the new crew do very well though with some of the original crew , I’ll be watching all the new episodes. great show . Fr Canada 🇨🇦

These new digs make me so incredibly happy! I just love Stewart, and John and Carenza and Matt and Naomi and all the new people! I love that there are children being involved. If I knew back then what I know now as a kid, I would’ve stuck with it and became an archaeologists. It has intrigued me my entire life. someday I would love to cross the pond and join one of the digs. That would be a huge dream of mine. Well done time team well done..!!!!

The spindle whorl was a fun find but never would have been “lost while weaving” as that’s a totally different process. It’s more likely to have been played with by some bratty kid who then lost it. Mom was teed off at the kid. “You’d better find that before supper!” and here we are 700+ years later…
